1. Powering The Future: Smart Energy Storage Trends For 2034 9/23/2024

   As we step into a new era of energy innovation, the smart energy storage market is emerging as a powerhouse of opportunity. Valued at $165.0 billion in 2023, this dynamic industry is set to grow at an impressive CAGR of 9.0%, with projections reaching $425.8 billion by 2034. Let’s explore what’s driving this remarkable growth and what it means for our energy landscape.

2. Cutting European Methane Emissions Through Advanced Gas Leak Detection 8/27/2024

   Reducing methane emissions is crucial in combating climate change, and advanced gas leak detection technology is key to achieving this goal.

3. Geothermal Energy Market: Monetizing The Hidden Benefits Of Power Beneath Earth 5/13/2024

   In the quest to sequester carbon emissions, harnessing energy from geothermal sources is proving to be an efficient tool. When we burn coal, it generates an average of 800 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated, or gCO2eq/kWh, while geothermal energy has a carbon intensity of almost 35 gCO2eq/kWh. Hence, we can say that geothermal is a cleaner and far greener source of energy.

4. Damper Maintenance Made Easy: ABB's Actuators Minimize Customer Plant Shutdowns 7/13/2023

   When a customer’s plant stopped working unexpectedly, the ABB team in Brazil stepped up to the challenge. 

5. Sustainability Relies On Measurement 10/18/2022

   At ABB, we embed sustainability in everything we do in order to create long-term value. This starts with helping our customers reduce their emissions and preserve resources, which is where we make the biggest impact, and extends to our own operations, to our suppliers, and the communities we serve. We strive always to be an exemplary corporate citizen wherever we operate.

6. Taking To The Wind For Climate Change 9/14/2022

   Dec. 17, 1903, was a windy day at Kitty Hawk, a coastal area of North Carolina, but suitable for the Wright brothers’ first test of their motor-operated flyer. In fact, they specifically chose this location for its wind. 

7. Brine Management — A Necessity, Not A Luxury 3/15/2022

   Brine is everywhere: desalination plants, gas and oil drillings, energy generation plants, mines, cooling towers, food manufacturing plants, chip fabrication, and many other industries that require high volumes of water. They all generate brine as a byproduct of their processes.

8. Is Russia-Ukraine War Leading Europe Towards Major Energy Crisis? 3/14/2022

   Russia's invasion of Ukraine has sent a shockwave across financial and energy markets in the world. The ongoing crisis has disrupted the oil and gas supply to Europe and raised concerns about the future oil supplies. Invasion pushed the oil and gas prices to record highs. European oil prices soared on news of aggression and are reaching new highs with each passing day. On March 3rd, Brent Crude Futures jumped 3.24% to US$ 116.59 per barrel, after crossing the US $119 earlier this week. U.S. Crude Futures also climbed 3.26% closing at $114.21 per barrel.

9. Green Hydrogen: Instrumentation And Analyzer Solutions For A Sustainable Future 12/22/2021

   Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions have resulted in global warming. Decarbonization to the point of carbon neutrality and tight control of other greenhouse gas emissions will be essential to avoid a climatic catastrophe. Amongst other things, this will require a switch from hydrocarbon fossil fuels to renewable forms of energy, such as green hydrogen.

10. Thermal Flow Meters Help Electric Power Plants Keep Their Cool With Hydrogen Gas 12/20/2021

    In all electric power generation plants (gas, solar, coal or nuclear), the fuel source of choice heats a large boiler, which creates steam that drives turbine blades to rotate. The turbine shaft in turn spins magnets inside the generator, which induces an electrical current in a coil of wires. It’s a high-temperature process both in terms of the boilers and steam, but also at the back end of the process where the electric current generates a large amount of heat that must be managed in order to keep the generator’s wire coils cool enough to avoid degradation or failure. Depending on the MVA size of the generator, hydrogen (H2), air or water is typically used to provide cooling.
